Anybody interested in developing a 1940 or 1943 set up?

@sparky660 Welcome to the forum :smile:

In case of a sucessful roll you return all tokens to the bank. In case of a failure you keep them (rulebook, page 11).

HTH :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks Panther. I read that last night and it didn’t register. I re-read it just now and it’s rather obvious, I don’t know how it confused me.

I had planned on making it to Gen Con this year but I wasn’t able to get the time off work on the relatively short notice. Definitely going to try making it to Origins/Gencon next year though. I live on the US East Coast so the CA Tournaments, Young Grasshopper’s Tournaments, etc. are probably out of the question though, just as a logistics thing.

Look above  :wink:

Thank you for the reply.  We have always been playing this way, so it was nice to confirm that it was the right way to handle withdrawals.

The setup charts have not been revised.

@Omega:

Or will the game be so hudge that it is worth that much money?

I’d go with that.

gee, I hope that whole world wide recession thing doesn’t affect the purchase of 2 $80 games too much…

i was going to make a similar russian national advantage for A&A 50 for russia

Scorched Earth:
The Russian player may decide to, in combonation with normal defense, assign units to scorch earth. The defending units roll to hit normaly, at their attack value instead of defense, allocating hits against the territory itself. For each successful hit reduce the IPC value of the territory by 1 during the next collect income phase.

Example, germany attacks Ukrane with 6 tanks, there are only three defending russian infantry, they stand little chance, so two are assigned to scorch earth……the other defends normaly. They roll a 2 for defense and a 1 and a 5 for scorched earth. The germans lose a tank, and during their collect income phase the Germans only get one for Ukrane instead of two

Crazy idea…but interesting

Yes, I just wish convoy zones would have been but in the game in the first place like AAE. That was a great idea to get the Battle of the Atlantic in the game. AA50 should have been AAE and AAP combined with a few modifications. Still looks awesome though. I see IL has come up with a convoy system in his AA50 house rules. I think the simplest way to do it would be to be key sea zones and put control markers in them. If an enemy unit enters it you cover it with your marker. Each convoy could be worth 1 or 2 IPC’s. Depending on what worked better. If you get it back then remove the enemy’s marker.
